Chocolate Almond Biscotti Di Prato

Biscotti or Biscotti di Prato are twice-baked biscuits originating in the Italian city of Prato. The biscuits are oblong-shaped almond biscuits made dry and crunchy through cutting the loaf of dough while still hot and fresh from baking in the oven.I had the same feeling looking at it like we eat "Rusk" in India ,our very known dunkable dessert a hard dry crispy biscuit which u enjoy with Tea,So i wanted to make this biscotti for quite sometime and finally i made it.Its not exactly like Rusk , it is Crisp and Crunchy from outside but somewhat soft n chewy from inside.Chocolates and Almonds...Chocolate gaves it a nice flavour and almonds a delicate sweet taste n texture and both are my all time favorite and having them with a cup of ginger Tea, is the next best thing .And the best of all is i passed the taste test, yup my hubby loved it too.So try this easy ,authentic Italian dessert as some best moments around the table are shared over the dessert.
